Professional Experience
Senior Laboratory Animal Technician for Radiation Biology Branch at NIH 11/2007 to 07/2015
Leidos Frederick, MD
Performed a variety of cancer treatment modalities including ionizing radiation, cytotoxic and non-cytotoxic drugs,
combinations of drugsand radiation, variousenzymatic inhibitors, antioxidants, and a varietyof agentsthat
impose oxidative stress which are used to reduce tumor growth, enhance the radiosensitivity of tumors, protect
normal tissues against radiation damage, or decrease metastatic phenotypes
Role in research included tumor regrowth delays,lung and tissue fibrosis, cancer models, tissue harvestand
processing.
Routinely performed medicallaboratorytests, procedures, experiments, and analysisto provide data for clinical
research studies.
Collaborated research experiments with NIAID, ROB, Brain Institute and DentalInstitute
Oriented newtechnicians, post docs and fellows to the proper operation and function of imaging equipment
Coordinated with investigators, veterinarians and site study team to conducttrials.
